IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-GIN FLUES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,423, dated August 13, 1872.

Specification describing a new and Improved Grinning Apparatus, invented by JAMES W. GAINES, of Glarksville, in the county of Red River and State of Texas.

I propose, by the arrangement of a valve or set of valves in the flue that leads the lintcotton from the gin-stand to the lint-room, to-

throw the lint-cotton into different rooms without stopping the gin.

In the ordinary way of ginningjhe cotton is thrown into one room, so that the gin has to stop until the cotton in the room is baled or packed. By this plan of mine the gin can be kept running; and if there are more than two rooms wanted I can use more than one valve. By having a partition in the lint-room I can throw the cotton first into one room, then into another.

In the accompanying drawing, which represents my improvement in two sectional elevations, a a represent the lint-roomspb b b, the

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat- A valve or set of valves, in combination.

with a gin-flue and two or more compartments, in order to deliver the lint-cotton, as it passes from the gin, into two or more lint-rooms, as shown and described.
